The Board of Trustees voted
at its May 1 meeting to change Stephen
C. Ainlay's title to Vice President for Academic Affairs/Dean of the College,
effective July 1. Ainlay, who joined the anthropology and sociology department
as an assistant professor in 1982, earned his Ph.D. from Rutgers (N.J.) University.
He was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 1987, and named a professor
and director of the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies (CISS) in
1993. Ainlay was appointed Dean of the College
in 1996.
"This change was made by the Trustees in recognition of the critical role Steve
has and will play in the management of the academic side of the house and to
bring consistency to the titles used for the heads of the different divisions
of the College," said Acting President Frank
Vellaccio. "It also gives me the opportunity to thank Steve for his hard work,
creativity and many accomplishments as Dean."
